Yeah, I was wondering about that myself. Need to look into it, but I'm pretty sure you can keep your E-4.

Those people who think they know what they're talking about are called "Sea Lawyers" in the Navy. If you're serious, call a recruiter. If they can get you in, they will.

fayetteville is not that bad, every month I usually drive to Hampton South Carolina from here. It's about a seven hour drive.

Hey man, advancement in the Navy isn't the greatest, but it's possible to move up pretty quick. Its a choose your rate, choose your fate thing. I'm a Damage Controlman, made E-6 in just over 7 years, and that's coming in at E-1. Yeah, I had to bust my ass. Put in the off duty, stay at work time, study my a$$ off, NOT go partying every night like I wanted to. But it is possible. Made E-6 when they promoted 7% of the eligible E-5s. Made E-5 when they promoted 10% of the eligible E-4s. Rate was tied up, but it IS possible. Just sayin.

I was stationed at Hurlburt Field in Fort Walton Beach just 45 min away from Pcola...its a nice area. The French Quarter is cool, but you need to head out to Ft Walton and Destin as well! I want to take the wif down there in the summer or fall next year so she can see a REAL beach! Plus I have some buddies still there too.

We all finally caught up with each other. Everything's all good. 5 showed up and had a good time. Some of us had trouble with the whole stage and launch thing but overall it was a good time. I enjoyed the 8th mile. The only thing that was messed up was you lined up and whoever was there, you ran. That includes all the V8 monsters that were there.

3 hours......two runs. Damn muscle cars....

Oh and actually from my house in gloucester its only about a 30 min drive. But i can see where it would be much longer for yall.

It's amazing, it is only 9 miles less than Richmond for me to get to the Carolina track, but because traffic is so lite, I can get there, make several runs, and then come back to Norfolk, and still have a quarter tank of gas.

Thanks for the link to the other track Jake.
